Disease Trajectories and End-of-Life Care for Dementias: Latent Topic Modeling and Trend Analysis Using Clinical Notes.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Despite the increasing prevalence, growing costs, and high mortality of dementia in older adults in the U.S., little is known about the course of these diseases and what care dementia patients receive in their final years of life. Using a large volum...

External validation of a proprietary risk model for 1-year mortality in community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or older.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: To examine the discrimination, calibration, and algorithmic fairness of the Epic End of Life Care Index (EOL-CI).

Needs of bereaved families of patients with cancer towards artificial intelligence in palliative care: A web-based survey.

European journal of oncology nursing : the official journal of European Oncology Nursing Society
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems in palliative care have garnered attention and popularity in recent years. Understanding patient and family needs is crucial for developing and implementing AI systems in palliative care. Few studies in p...

Multidisciplinary clinician perceptions on utility of a machine learning tool (ALERT) to predict 6-month mortality and improve end-of-life outcomes for advanced cancer patients.

Cancer medicine
BACKGROUND: There are significant disparities in outcomes at the end-of-life (EOL) for minoritized patients with advanced cancer, with most dying without a documented serious illness conversation (SIC). This study aims to assess clinician perceptions...

Harnessing Natural Language Processing to Assess Quality of End-of-Life Care for Children With Cancer.

JCO clinical cancer informatics
PURPOSE: Data on end-of-life care (EOLC) quality, assessed through evidence-based quality measures (QMs), are difficult to obtain. Natural language processing (NLP) enables efficient quality measurement and is not yet used for children with serious i...
